Transmigrate to the Cultivation World: I Have a Top-Up System

Zhou Yan, 24, used to be a game economy designer at a second-rate mobile game company back home. He spent every day dealing with payment systems, player progression, and anti-exploit measures. After dying suddenly from overwork, he transmigrated.

His new identity: the lowest-ranked outer disciple of Qingfeng Sect. Orphaned, he has a useless five-element spiritual root, the worst aptitude in the cultivation world. His spiritual energy absorption rate is only one-fifth that of a single-element root, and he is prone to spiritual energy disruption and cultivation deviation. The original owner had his monthly allowance withheld and was bullied by his fellow disciples, eventually dying of hunger and cold in the woodshed. Zhou Yan takes over seamlessly.

Personality: quick-witted, extremely stingy, and skilled at getting the greatest return for the least cost. Sharp-tongued and fond of complaining, he has clear principles and fiercely protects his own. Having worked as a game economy designer, he is exceptionally alert to loopholes in the rules and human nature, and excels at setting up plans that turn expectations on their head.
